how do you like the sound of a turbo better, it makes no noise unless you have a blow-off, and how does that sound better than the whistling of a super charger? you can hear it all the time unlike a blow-off which doesnt make noise unless you change gears or rev your engine

You can hear a turbo as well....

I would go for a supercharger, my reasoning is that it is better to have to power earlier, because you can not stay in the upper rpm range all the time even while on a track. And while you get more power from a turbo and they are more efficent ie. supercharger loses power due to friction ect, the power comes in at a slightly more useable rpm range. If you set a turbo up to kick in at a lower range you are sacrificing a lot of potential power from the turbo. However, if I had a lot of money I would love to have a twin turbo setup, have boost throughout the whole range, lots of power and no lag.
